From 60d77ed24bb3068c0837fe45b8921b0a6598829d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naveen N Rao Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2023 19:11:29 +0530 Subject: powerpc: Fix build issue with LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY We recently added support for -fpatchable-function-entry and it is enabled by default on ppc32 (ppc64 needs gcc v13.1.0). When building the kernel for ppc32 and also enabling CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, we see the below build error with older gcc versions: powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o(__patchable_function_entries): error: need linked-to section for --gc-sections This error is thrown since __patchable_function_entries section would be garbage collected with --gc-sections since it does not reference any other kept sections. This has subsequently been fixed with: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=b7d072167715829eed0622616f6ae0182900de3e Disable LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for gcc versions before v11.1.0 if using -fpatchable-function-entry to avoid this bug.
